<p>Dear Hop Farmer,</p><p>Thank you for participating in our effort to develop information on hops production in the Northeast. Our goal is to gather information from growers on their practices, varietal responses, and hop yard growing conditions in order to assist you with your goals of improved quality and yield. Our plan is to provide a summary of producer experiences, impacts, pest pressure, and weather conditions. Hopefully this information will help guide the industry to varieties and practices that are both sustainable and profitable.</p><p>Please use this diary to record your daily/weekly observations and activities in the hop yard. Every effort will be made to keep your information confidential. Results will be available in aggregate rather than by individual grower. This information will also be of great use to you in tracking patterns and practices from season to season. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or comments. Have a great growing season! </p><p>Steve Miller, Hops Specialist, CCE of Madison Co [email protected] PO Box 1209 Morrisville, NY 13408 Phone: 315 684-3001 x124 Fax: 315 684-9290 </p><p>Heather Darby, Agronomist and Nutrient Mgt.
